The difference between the carbs is actually pretty big - 18mm vs 24mm (or 33% larger) ... I wish there was a way to accurately measure the flow rate(s) of the mufflers but I guess that's a mute point.

The only part #s I wasn't able to match up as identical were the reeds, but everything else is the same on the regular and the HO 2PG (and the reeds *look* identical so I'm assuming they are) - the big question now is it really worth popping $160 for a new 88-only muffler and $80 for a BV24 carb to add that 5mph ... I have an extra 88-only head pipe so the really *difficult to find* part of the swap is done - we'll see. I just needed a day away from everything to mess with the carts, LOL, I guess I have all winter to decide unless I sell the yellow one (I have it on Craigslist for $2k firm, got an offer of $1800 but for that I'd just keep it, having another cool cart around is worth more than the few hundred I'd make on the deal overall).
